Upcoming project...

So...I've recently come into position of my grandfathers .38 revolver.  While I do like the sentimental value of having something that belonged to him, 30 years of neglect under a mattress has left the metal in a less-than desirable condition.  Mechanically, the gun seems fine, my father and I did some test shots and by all accounts it appears to be a good working order, but by no means is a 'looker' in its current state.  That's why I'm going to start on a "bluing project."  I've been watching some Youtube instructional videos and plan to pick up the supplies at my local Academy Sports tomorrow.  I have a feeling [read : hope] it's going to transform the look of this gun...
